I'm glad I had the opportunity to dine in this beautiful 150 year old restaurant. My review comes after its closure but it serves to honor the restaurant in hosting my visit. The Building is amazing where the walls and ceilings act as palettes for beautiful painted art. Stepping into the restaurant feel as if one is stepping through a time portal where one feels they are dining 151 years ago which is how old the building is. The ambiance is quite lively and energetic. Although the highlight is the space, the food is also very good. Their pretzels are served warm and fresh with a firm exterior and an interior that melts as it enters one's mouth. The soup is flavorful and healthy with not even a drop of oil pooling to the top. The schnitzel is as tender as it gets. The servers were knowledgeable and fast but it is always so busy that the restaurant should consider increasing staff as to improve customer service. Perfect location right in the heart of Marienplatz where the Glockenspiel is a stone's throw away. Overall, a wonderful restaurant to dine with great food and a beautifully historic setting!

Hofbrauhaus is iconic, and overwhelming. Depending on the…read moretime of the day you go, and the size of your group, you will have different experience. Afterall, this is a beer hall, and it can get very busy, rowdy and loud. If that's the vibe you are looking for (I mean why else are you going here?) go with the right expectation. Basic Rules (purely based on my observations): - It's massive and tables are for sharing. Walk in and find yourself a seat. Be polite and ask the guests... the servers are not going to find seats for you. - Go through the menu, and figure out what you want. Be decisive and don't "hmm and haw" when the server is ready to take your order. Use google if you are not sure what a dish is. Of course you can ask the server, but don't be surprised if they are annoyed by too many questions during a busy time. Remember, language barriers can be frustrating for both guests and staff. - They do have Non-alcoholic beers, just make sure to specify. I was only in Munich for a couple days, and visited Hofbräuhaus twice (t was just the easier option in my case). First time: Walked in soon after opening on a Friday because I wanted to try Weisswurst (which is only served before 2pm). Place was nearly empty, so I found a whole table to myself (had others share the table after). Service was on the slower side, but I was able to order pretty quickly. It didn't take too long for the food to arrive. The place started to fill up slowly and the band started playing and it was a cool space. Second time: As I had more family join me and wanted to experience a classic Beerhall, so we went on Saturday around 1 pm with a group of 6. It was completely packed, and very loud. We found a table pretty quickly as people were leaving. It did take a while for the server to come to our table and took a while for the food to arrive. We shared and tried a bunch of dishes and everything was quite good and interesting. Disclaimer: I am not an expert on authentic Bavarian food, so I am not here to comment on that. Simply put - as first time visitors, we enjoyed our meal. Couple other things: Prices were quite reasonable. Although it's pure chaos, it's a fun environment. Staff members can be direct, and the tone may not translate well... which may be a bit frustrating for foreign visitors.

We had the 9 wiener plate served with sauerkraut, and a pretzel. We also split the pork schnitzel with potato salad. Both dishes were delicious! I'd order them both again. For dessert we had their homemade Apple fritters (3 total in one order) served with berries and homemade ice cream. Wow! This was the best fritter I've ever had. We are from the US and are used to the fritters being mainly dough but this one was packed with apples. The service was great, our waitress spoke English, all the fellow guests were German, beer was cold and highly recommend this place.

The food portions were small, but flavorful, with the exception of the beef filet. It was under seasoned and hubby's was overcooked. The people seated next to us experienced the same issue. We felt the meal was overpriced for the experience. They did have a good wine selection. We ordered a bottle and didn't opt for the wine pairing which also seemed to be overpriced for the selections. There weren't many places open on Christmas Eve, so I give them 4 stars for the entire effort.

Recommended if you only order from the lunch menu because you get a tray with a small soup, small salad, entree and dessert all at once and it's better value.
